As trusted Guelph Realtors, we’re passionate about supporting our community both inside and outside of real estate. That’s why we’ve created the Best of Guelph series, local guides that spotlight the top businesses, products and services in our city.
This edition features the best hair salons in Guelph (2025). Our goal is to help residents and visitors discover high-quality salons, with a special focus on locally owned and operated businesses. We’ve also included some franchised salons, as many are run by local owners and employ talented Guelph stylists.
💡 Important note: We do not accept compensation or sponsorships for inclusion on this list. Every salon featured here has been selected to help you make informed choices. If you know of another Guelph hair salon that deserves recognition, we’d love to hear from you!

Valentini’s Hair Design (295 Woolwich St, Guelph)

Their approach is one of education, professionalism and advance of the industry. Valentinis offer guests a complete colour portfolio, premium luxury hair care backed with the highest level of education for over 30 years.
You can get everything from hair design (colour, style, texture and hair extensions), brow tinting and waxing. There is a price list on their website although we’re not sure it’s completely up to date.
